Does anyone know of a site that keeps track of how many plays a player is on the field?
If a defense is on the field for 60 plays, how many plays do the individuals participate in? Same goes for the offense. Coaches rotate players in and out, but is the information available? Any help would be appreciated.

I looked in the NFL Gamebooks and they don't track it. I have a printed copy of the NFL's official stats from the HOF game this year that they give to the media following the game and it doesn't track it on there either.

And with a stat as specific as that, if the NFL isn't officially tracking it... then it's probably going to be hard to find.

I'll let you know if I can find anything. Were there any specific players you were looking for if i find it at a site that I have access to but you won't be able to access?

Thanks BH. This site is fantastic. I check it more than once a day, although I don't post much.

Specifically it had to do with this years playoffs and super bowl. I thought if TO played, he would probably play maybe 15 downs or so. Based on the injury and healing time, I just didn't see him as a factor. Obviously, I was way off base. So I was curoius as to how many downs he actually played.

And for the same team, I'm curious as to how Jerome McDougal fits in anymore. I think the team has soured on him, and I wanted to see how many downs he played in the respective playoff games this year.

I like to keep track of the enemy's movements.

A smart guy keeps his friends close, and his enemies closer. Keep an eye on that TO for us, alright ?
Not for nothing...I think it's pretty impressive that a site admin would take the time to do that for any of his 1780-some odd posters, much less a newbie.
Not suckin' butt...I'm just saying. This place is unbelievable.

Their defensive stats are sparse, though, and they do not dig down to number of plays.

Today's teams probably keep those sort of numbers -- if pitching coaches record pitches thrown, strikes, balls high, balls low, types of pitch, etc, then modern NFL teams probably record who was on the field for every play.

But I've never seen it published anywhere...and you are one of the few people who has ever been interested, although it is a very good point!

1982 Mark Moseley's FG% (95.2%) was actually higher than his PAT% (84%) for the year.

That's an odd one. Being too lazy to look at the '82 stats (too lazy to look before I leap):

- we know that was the season Mosely broke the NFL record for consecutive FG's. A game-winner against the Giants, on the last play, in the sleet and mud.

- that was a short season -- a strike season, when they only played about 10 games.

- Joe Washington got hurt part-way through, so the offense was reduced to Riggins running behind the Hogs, or Monk catching long passes. (Just emphasized that because every year DR Z and other HOF voters claim that Monk was only an "eight-yard gain possession receiver".). And Mosely kicking FG's.

- Maybe the Redskins scored fewer TD's than normal, so one or two missed PAT's hurt Mosely's percentage?

Your right. There were only 9 games played in the strike shortened season that year. Only 19 attempted extra points. But of all the kickers that year, every one of them had higher pat% than FG%. Just kind of a random stat.

And that kick in the snow was clutch.
